VISION: We want to see all people in remote Karen areas have access to high quality healthcare.

We’re so grateful to medical professionals like pediatrician Dr. Anne, who cross continents to come share their skills and wisdom with our students. They’ll soak it up and use it for years to come.

No two patients are the same. As a healthcare provider, you gather knowledge, practice skillsets, and learn how to problem-solve in volatile environments. Even when you have serious experience behind you, the learning never stops!

The treatment you learn in theory isn’t always appropriate in reality, Year 3 PA student Saw Pann Khaing realized. "The way nephrotic syndrome is treated depends on things like the cause of the disease, the patient’s age, and their intake and output," he said, giving an example. "In theory, there’s a standard treatment, but in practice, every case is different. This has helped me understand the importance of adjusting what we learn in class to the real needs of each patient. I am grateful that we can practice what we learn in class at the Rain Tree Clinic.”

Electricity is hard to come by out here! Rivers and streams, on the other hand, are plentiful.

We're neck-deep — sometimes literally — in a project to generate electricity from the flow of a nearby river. Unlike solar power, a hydroelectric generator would run 24/7, with no need for big battery banks.

We’ve tried this before over the years but have run into problems with equipment quality, as well as with detritus during rainy season surges. This time, we've got better equipment, and our engineers have been working on a design to cope with rainy season. We are hopeful for success!

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing." – 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Not every exam looks like a roomful of desks, tests, and scribbling students. For our Year 3 E-tech students' last exam before graduation, they have to design, plan, manage, and build a construction project. This year, they're building a receiving area for all the supplies coming into RTC. All their training from the last three years is made manifest

Final exams are always stressful, but we have no worries about these students; we know how hard they've worked to prepare. This theory exam is one of the final steps before the Year 5 PA students graduate. We couldn't be more proud of them!

Another month gone, and hundreds more patients treated. Thank you to all of our donors and anyone keeping our team in their prayers; your support allows us to do what we do.

Our Year 5 PA students recently headed to Mae Sariang, Thailand, for special training with a pediatrician from Scotland. This group is very nearly finished with their training; their class was delayed a year by COVID-19 in 2020, so they've been waiting for a while. It will be our fifth graduating PA class.

These students will take final exams in February and graduate soon after. Then, they'll be sent off to remote areas of Karen State to provide medical care where it's needed most.

Why do we teach in English? Because most medical textbooks, papers available online, and other resources the students will need throughout their medical careers are in English.

But whatever language we're working with, there's no reason studying can't be fun from time to time 😄

Kahoot for the win!

With the conflict ramping up in our region, we've been reflecting on why our PA and E-tech programs and our hospitals are so important.

The civil war makes everything feel uncertain, but our programs bring hope to Karen State by training students well, which is so rare in Myanmar right now. And despite everything, our programs are getting stronger and stronger. Our goal is permanent health care infrastructure, which the war makes incredibly difficult, but we are succeeding. Our students are able to keep training, even though so many other programs have shut down, which gives them hope and purpose. Patients travel to us because they feel safe with us.

There are many battles going on nearby, so we expect more displaced people and injuries ... a busier year in general. That means we need more food and supplies. As always, we're putting our trust in God and His providence.

At the end of December, our Year 5 PA students took their midterm mock Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) tests. The OSCE is a practical bedside exam with seven stations: two for history-taking, two for physical examinations, one for ob-gyn history-taking, one for ob-gyn examinations, and one for operating theaters and instruments. The mock OSCE is important prep work for the OSCE the students will take before they graduate.

Doesn't matter which part of the world you live in — studying for last-minute exams with your friends looks the same just about anywhere!

Health for the Hidden

The Karen are a people group concentrated along the Thai-Myanmar border. As peace in Myanmar struggles forward, many Karens still scratch out a living as farmers. In mountain and jungle areas, little is left over for education or healthcare.

Since 2015, Earth Mission Asia has been operating a five-year Physician Assistant training program that is specifically designed around problems commonly found in rural villages. We are also developing training programs needed to support healthcare teams in in the jungle (i.e. engineering technology and administration). Our strategies are especially focused on empowering students from these areas.
